SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 16, 2015) - Enabling channel partners to better address the IT business needs of organizations and agencies within the federal, state, local and education (SLED) markets, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced it has expanded Promark's General Services Administration (GSA) schedule to include HP Enterprise Group (EG).

As the technology solution provider of choice for channel partners working within the public sector, Ingram Micro is pleased to feature more than 30 vendors within its Promark GSA schedule, including HP EG and HP Printer and Systems Group (PSG). "The addition of the HP EG portfolio to our expanding GSA schedule is a big win for our channel partners that are selling more advanced technologies such as converged infrastructure and systems into the federal and SLED markets," said Todd Hartung, director, Promark.

"The U.S. public sector is a massive vertical market lined with opportunity, complexity and challenges that channel partners simply shouldn't tackle alone," said Kirk Robinson, senior vice president, Commercial and Global Markets, Ingram Micro. "Our dedicated resources, proven expertise and support offerings, combined with our GSA schedule, empower channel partners to uncover more opportunities, simplify processes and ultimately better service the needs of federal and SLED organizations. We're pleased to expand our relationship with HP and bring even greater choice to our public sector channel partners when it comes to advanced solutions and services."

In 2014, Promark, which is part of Ingram Micro's Advanced Solutions Organization, welcomed more than eight new vendor lines to its GSA schedule including VMware, HP PSG, Lenovo, LG, Novell and RES Software.

"Today, government corporations face ever-increasing operational and mission critical demands in an environment of limited budgets," said Joe Ayers, vice president and general manager, HP Federal Enterprise Group. "By teaming with Ingram Micro, HP provides the broadest portfolio of market-leading servers, storage, networking and converged systems solutions and services for federal customers looking to get the most out of their IT investments."
